Alternate translation: [I desire that they bring forth and declare to us] or [They should bring forth and declare to us]

Note 3 topic: writing-pronouns

יַגִּ֨ישׁוּ֙ וְ⁠יַגִּ֣ידוּ לָ֔⁠נוּ

The pronoun them refers to the idols and the false gods. It may be helpful to clarify this for your readers. Alternate translation: [Let the idols bring forth and declare to us]

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj

הָ⁠רִאשֹׁנ֣וֹת מָ֣ה

the_former,[things] what

Yahweh is using the adjective The former as a noun to mean former things, that is, events that happened in the past. Your language may use adjectives in the same way. If not, you can translate this adjective with an equivalent phrase. Alternate translation: [Events of the past, what]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

וְ⁠נָשִׂ֤ימָה לִבֵּ֨⁠נוּ֙ וְ⁠נֵדְעָ֣ה

so,that_we_may_set heart_of,our and,so_that_we_may_know

Yahweh is using set to our heart as a common expression of the culture to mean to think about something carefully. If this phrase does not have that meaning for your readers, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning, or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [and let us think carefully about them, and let us know]
